    Milk tanker: http://www.handsfree.co.uk/images/news/art-truck-2.jpg
    Chemical tanker: http://t2.ftcdn.net/jpg/00/15/53/49/400_F_15534954_M6QrEH2Pa8bwyWsZ6FQp2M2m8yA6fQYr.jpg
    Vacuum tank with full steering: http://www.d-tec.nl/News_341_VMA_Vacuum_tank_trailer_EN.aspx

    Theres propably not much difference between us and euro tanks except for the axles , generally tanks here are 8717 us gallon tanks, you would fill them depending on the unladen weight of the truck and how many axles you have, inside by law they must have baffles or compartments to protect against surges and prevent rollovers and to help with braking, I'm sure it's the same there

    There are Utility VS2D vans on road in Ukraine. Last year I did EBS conversion of '93 van. This trailer got tandem axe, so they are used with 6x4 and 6x2 trucktors here, it is over 50' long, more then 90 m3 inside. But bad thing that all US vans are tail gate load only.
